Stamping Party at Jane’s & Zoom #107

January 3 was the Top Drawers annual Stamping Party at Jane’s house. She has an extensive collection of rubber stamps, stencils and inks. Every year, she invites the group to her home prepare sketchbook pages with stamped imagery. This year she also generously offered to let each sketcher take home a few stamps! We obliged.

Daisy did this drawing on her stamped page after she went home. The first page in a new sketchbook for the new year.

Two Weeks in December

The Top Drawers sketched together during late December, despite (or maybe because of) traveling and holidays preparations. Today is the first day of the New Year and we are eagerly looking forward to our weekly meetings in 2023. Remember, this is an open group and we invite new sketchers to join us at the Tuesday get-togethers. If you want to know where we will be meeting next, email Marsha McCloskey at [email protected].

It was a wet and windy day, but inside the 5th Street Market, it was sketching as usual.

At Zoom meetings we each show our artwork from the week. Each person sends in their 3 favorites to be posted here.

Market of Choice, Tricia’s Christmas Windows & Zoom #102

The Top Drawers chose the Market of Choice for the Tuesday meet up. A good turnout just after Thanksgiving .

Tricia’s Christmas Windows

Although you haven’t seen me at the sketching meetups for awhile, my daughter and I have been busy painting snowy winter scenes all around the area. So I’m sending a few images for you to hopefully share in the next post……. Tricia
